What is the emission standard for the 2017 Focus?
2 Answers
The 2017 Focus complies with the China V emission standard, which is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently implemented in Europe. Emission standards regulate the permissible levels of harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and soot. Each upgrade from China I to China V reduces vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. The Focus is a compact sedan equipped with an 8-inch multimedia display, SYNC3 system supporting Apple CarPlay and Baidu Carlife, electronic parking brake, AutoHold, three driving mode options, full LED headlights, and a panoramic sunroof.
I'm the owner of a 2017 Focus, bought it used last year, and it drives quite smoothly. The car meets the China 5 emission standard, which I've confirmed with the compliance certificate and environmental label. China 5 refers to the fifth phase of emission control, and most cars produced in 2017 were like this, as the upgrade to China 6 hadn't happened yet. While there are no major issues with driving it, it's important to be aware of urban driving restrictions—some areas in cities like Beijing and Shanghai may limit access for high-emission vehicles, so it's best to check local policies before transferring ownership. It's fuel-efficient for daily use and passes emission tests during annual inspections without a hitch, but if you plan to drive it long-term in cities with strict environmental regulations, you might want to consider switching to a China 6-compliant vehicle. All in all, it's a reliable means of transportation and easy to maintain.
